    My heart lept, on fire, as the words of this poem, sparked such passion, I so loved every moment, and imagined, I was flighing, for his Graces, royal airforce. Against the foe, for king and country. For freedom, for liberty and justice.
    Thank you Eagle Dynamics for making my dreams come true.

      Indeed, he truly is a remarkable person and has been an inspiration for the WWII side of DCS. We need to tell the story of how this was an afterthought when he and Igor built the company. More in the future on this.

      He’s really an aviator who has passion for flying and flight simulators. We’re hoping to bring some history of ED and how WWII aircraft made their way into DCS through a collaboration.

I pray that DCS will still be around for all of those who wish to know or who seek to refresh their their fighter pilot spirits along the way … Thank you for your passion and support.

    • @eirikstensj6946
      @eirikstensj6946 3 месяца назад +1

      EP120 is usually a clipped wing Spitfire. The Fighter Collection does have wing tips for it though, and I have seen them in use once in 2013. The Horsemen display team used it as the lead aircraft in a three ship formation at Flying Legends at Duxford that year. The other two were Spitfire Mk.Ia.

    • @AIRWARFAREGROUP
      @AIRWARFAREGROUP  3 месяца назад

      Nick reached out to us last year and had been following us for a couple of years. He and I hit it off right away and have become good friends. In his words, AWG is displaying DCS for how Nick and Igor intended it as a Digital Combat Simulator…DCS is in the name…Nick shared his five-minute flight video with me to use and I arranged it with music. I recommend a story for the background to the video and he came up with the poem he wrote for the Spitfire, obviously his favorite warbird. He is truly an incredible dude to chat with and share our passion for aviation. Other people who have met him and worked for him tell me the same thing. Just so pleasant to be around. He’s part of every DCS community and we are part of his 😀
